Non Runner-No BetGoing 'Fast Side Of Good' At Newmarket Strong winds yesterday and today have more than negated the 2 millimetres of rain that fell overnight and, while the going on the Rowley Mile remains officially Good, Clerk of the Course, Michael Prosser, describes it as being 'definitely on the fast side of Good.' He said at midday: 'By last night it was bordering on Good-to-Firm and we had less rain than forecast overnight. I´ve walked the track this morning and it is definitely on the fast of Good. A strong, drying wind continues to blow across the Heath and the sun is coming out. However, we are forecast to catch another front on Wednesday night which could bring up to 6mm of rain, though I´m told it will have blown through by 2am. Thursday day should be dry and pleasant, but a further 2 to 3 millimetres of rain is likely overnight on Thursday into Friday.'
